Has to be on Parliament's official website to be officially debated - although MPs could probably just bring this up in Parliament time if it gets enough traction.
ScouseFox Posted 19 August 2019 Posted 19 August 2019 thought everyone under the age of about 35 had already faced the fact that they’re never gonna be able to retire, unless they get really lucky

Like many people from a privileged background, he has no idea how the vast majority of people live. Even worse, they are trying to make out that they're doing us a favour; how any ordinary working man or woman could even consider voting for the fvcking sociopaths is beyond my comprehension. It's Turkeys voting for Xmas - when the fvck are they going to wake up and see things as they really are? ************************************************************************************************ 'The state pension age should be raised to 75 within the next 16 years to help boost the UK economy, according to a Tory think tank. In a new report, the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) has proposed an increase of the pension age to 70 by 2028 and 75 by 2035. The pension age is already set to increase to 67 by 2028 and to 68 by 2046 – but the organisation, co-founded by former Conservative leader and work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan-Smith, wants to see a faster increase. The CSJ’s latest report said evidence suggested the UK was “not responding to the needs and potential” of an ageing workforce, with hundreds of thousands of people aged 50 to 64 seen as “economically inactive”. It recommended helping older people “access the benefits of work” by giving support to them and employers, such as increased access to flexible working and training opportunities. The organisation proposes that the pension age should be increased once this support is in place. In 2017 the government announced plans to increase the state pension age to 68 between 2037 and 2039. However the CSJ wants to see faster increases, and believes the cost of benefits would be reduced by employing more older people while it would boost the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP). In its report, Ageing Confidently: Supporting an ageing workforce, the think tank states: “Removing barriers for older people to remain in work has the potential to contribute greatly to the health of individuals and the affordability of public services. “Therefore, this paper argues for significant improvements in the support for older workers. “This includes improved healthcare support, increased access to flexible working, better opportunities for training, an employer-led mid-life MOT and the implementation of an ‘Age Confident’ scheme. “As we prepare for the future, we must prioritise increasing the opportunity to work for this demographic to reduce involuntary worklessness. “For the vulnerable and marginalised, a job offers the first step away from state dependence, social marginalisation and personal destitution. “In addition, provided that this support is in place, we propose an increase in the state pension age to 75 by 2035. “While this might seem contrary to a long-standing compassionate attitude to an older generation that have paid their way in the world and deserve to be looked after, we do not believe it should be. “Working longer has the potential to improve health and wellbeing, increase retirement savings and ensure the full functioning of public services for all.” CSJ chief executive Andy Cook said: “Right now, we are not doing enough to help older people stay in work and the state pension age doesn’t even closely reflect healthy working life expectancy. “By increasing the state pension age, we can help people stay in gainful and life-enhancing employment while also making a sound long-term financial decision.” Ex-pensions minister Ros Altmann said the proposed changes “must not be allowed to happen”. She tweeted: “Reports of state pension age rising to 75 are shocking. “Major changes in pension attitudes required due to big life expectancy differentials. Using age as a strict cut off is not good policy.”
yorkie1999 Posted 19 August 2019 Posted 19 August 2019 Fvck me, every other country in the world looks after their old people, this country and it’s government just wants them to work to death, and what are they going to do with all the money people have paid in over 60 years of working? Clever idea though, no jobs so get the oldies to pay for students to stay in education for longer so the jobless figures remain artificially low.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 19 August 2019 Posted 19 August 2019 Tory ideology is in full swing now. This would give England the highest retirement age in the developed world and the lowest pensions. Not bad for the 5th / 6th largest economy. Where does the money go? It's definitely not on schools, the NHS, hospitals, policing or any of the public services. One thing the UK elite does excel at is putting money in tax havens offshore so that there's no money for us Plebs. There's trillions of pounds held offshore by UK residents. Enough unpaid tax to solve all of our problems. The EU is looking to bring in a law that means secret offshore accounts well have to be named. The Tories don't want this to happen. They'll make sure we brexit at all costs before this law comes in. They'll screw every single non multi millionaire for the benefit of themselves. Working to age 75 before state pension. Work means freedom? What did it say on the gas chambers which IDS visited? Something very similar. He's literally wanting you to work to death.
